Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it features an image of the city's coat of arms on one side, which includes a depiction of a castle and a lion. This design was used on many coins issued by Nuremberg during this time period and has become a recognizable symbol of the city's rich history and culture.
